Iraq #86
All bids are binding. The winner must complete payment within 48 hours after the auction closes.
The flowing tunic, the layered drape, the desert textile tradition woven into every thread. Centuries of Mesopotamian culture carried into the modern game. The Lions of Mesopotamia. Number 86 for 1986, their only World Cup appearance until now. Forty years of waiting. The last team to qualify for 2026. Some nations are built to make history twice.
THE STORY BEHIND THE COLLECTION
Every Ganxo Studio piece is a handmade natural linen shirt, crafted by hand in Barcelona, paired with an organic cotton scarf. The jersey draws from American football aesthetics with oversized cut, dropped shoulders, V-neck and bold number on the chest. A nod to the host nation woven into every single piece in the collection. The scarf is placed following the traditional dress codes of every country, on the head, around the neck, across the chest or at the waist. This is not a reproduction. This is the only one that will ever exist.
HOW THE AUCTION WORKS
This auction opens June 11th, the first day of the 2026 World Cup. It closes 24 hours after Iraq gets eliminated from the tournament. The further they go, the more this piece is worth. If they reach the final, you do the math. Only 1 exists. When it's gone, it's gone.
